Staying Positive: Aeon Flux
by Adam Thas
Growing up in the '90s, I was a fan of the Aeon Flux cartoon (even if only lasted one season). It was weird, had a lot of action, and was a very interesting bridge between American and Asian animation styles. I loved it. So when I found out 10 years later that a live action version was going to be released, I was of course ecstatic. Aeon Flux disappointed. It just didn’t feel right and didn’t have the strangeness that the cartoon had. Even the beautiful Charlize Theron couldn’t save it for me. Critics hated it, I hated it, and creator Peter Chung hated it. So let’s travel 400 years into the future and save humanity by staying positive with 2005’s Aeon Flux.

A Horror Dominated Quarter
by Melissa Uhrin
As I was collecting more and more titles to add to the list I wanted to post this week and it began to grow exponentially, I gave some thought as to what draws me to a movie. I had just about 80 movies on here at one point, but based on how many I actually saw in theatres last year, I thought I should write about the movies I am most looking forward to watching in theatres over the next couple of months. Then this piece won't be a fricken novel.

Riske Business: 15 Reasons You See a Movie Multiple Times in Theaters
by Adam Riske
Most recently, I’ve seen The Revanant twice in theaters, Creed three times, Star Wars: The Force Awakens four times and The Hateful Eight five times. This begged the question why do we feel compelled to return again and again to see the same movie we’ve already seen?

Heath Holland On...Corvette Summer
by Heath Holland
Question: you’ve just starred in the biggest box office success of all time and your face is on trading cards, novels, comic books, and lunch boxes. What do you do next? If you’re Mark Hamill, you star in Corvette Summer.

Melissa Uhrin's Top 10 of 2015
by Melissa Uhrin
This past year was a busy one for me! I smashed my 2014 number of films watched (list to come soon-ish) and had the opportunity to see more than fifty of this year’s new releases. Hooray!? That had the potential to make for some difficult choices, but I opted for the most "me" route: what films entertained me the most? Here they are.

Riske Business: My Top 10 of 2015
by Adam Riske
2015 was a great year for the movies, especially if you were a Western, a blockbuster with brains and heart or the work of a writer-director. These were my favorite movies of the year.
